Our team

Ian Yeates: Business Development Manager

A people’s person who loves building relationships, Ian has spent the past ten years in the sporting goods and outdoor industry working with the likes of Nike and Suunto in sales and retail brand marketing. He works with new and existing clients at SpinMe, solving challenges around ecommerce imaging and content needs. Ian is a sports nut, whether watching or playing. If he’s not in the gym or on his bike he’ll probably be watching Arsenal, which he considers the best football team in London. After all that exercise, and with a self-confessed big appetite, it’s lucky he enjoys making a mess in the kitchen.

Zoe Llewellyn: Sales & Marketing Executive

A passion for building client relationships, coupled with a creative flair, Zoe enjoys spending her time across different areas of the business. No two days are the same for zoe, from managing client projects, organizing live webinars and events to creating newsletters and updating our social media platform.

Kane Turley: Client Services Manager

Kane enjoys Jack Daniels, lifting heavy things and proving that cheese can enhance any meal.

Matthew Webb: Technical Support Executive

Matt has been at SpinMe for over a year, where he ably assists clients and SpinMe staff. A fascination with science fiction in his early teens sparked Matt's interest in IT - since then he’s keenly kept up to date with technology trends and finds solving IT-related challenges gratifying. In his downtime, Matt loves watching a good movie, playing video games and going to rock concerts with his partner.

Nathan Davies: Technical Support Apprentice

Nathan pursued his interest in computing at college, and now as a new member of the team, is looking to apply and further his knowledge with the company. In his spare time, he enjoys gaming, watching TV and going to watch Cheltenham Town probably lose at football again.

Margaret Cooper: Finance Manager

Margaret’s many years’ accounting experience and impressive industry qualifications means SpinMe’s bank account is in safe hands. She prepares all financial reports for the business.

Edward Taylor: Senior Photographer

At the age of 16, Edd was handed a video camera at a family wedding and asked to film the band. Upon reviewing the footage, he established he’d somehow shot hundreds of stills. Over the moon with the terrible results he’d achieved, he found a love for photography. Edd has since graduated from Plymouth University with a first class honours degree, and helps SpinMe develop and provide innovative workflow solutions within a studio photography environment.

Sydney Tarrant: Photographer

Sydney is new to the SpinMe team but not to photography, having fine-tuned his skills at Norwich University of the Arts. Driven to provide the best outcome for each client, his earlier freelancing career means he knows the importance of creating a smooth workflow while efficiently overcoming any problems. When not standing behind a camera, Sydney is usually found behind a set of handlebars or socialising with friends.

Sean Smiles: Photographer

Sean specialises in ecommerce, commercial and advertising photography. With a career that spans analogue cameras in the late 1980s to today’s digital scene, he still practises principles from the early days and believes that if an image is taken correctly with the camera first off, it will save lots of time in post-production. His 360 spin and multi-row 3D imagery adventure with SpinMe has seen him shoot fashion models, jewellery, cycle wear and an F2 race car. In his quest for the perfect 360 image, Sean trains photographers and sets up studios around the world.

Millie Smith: Junior Photographer

Millie has been an avid photographer since childhood, shooting and re-touching her own images. She studied photography at college and brings a fresh take on creative techniques to SpinMe. Millie can nearly always be found assisting the studio team with client product shoots. Outside of the studio, she’s an aspiring Mary Berry.

Chloe Macdonald: Stock Assistant

Coming from a postal service background, Chloe has strong courier knowledge, ensuring all our stock deliveries are in safe hands using the SpinMe software. Chloe works closely with our in-house studio ensuring products are looking flawless and stock is kept organised. She first gained an interest in photography while studying animation and studio photography at the University of Worcester.

When she isn’t busy prepping stock, or using up all the parcel tape, she enjoys going to concerts and eating sushi.

Adam Wray: Developer

Adam is a skilled developer, and responsible for keeping SpinMe’s software in top shape. He can be found bug fixing, developing new features for the core application and increasingly working in programming languages only a chosen few can understand as SpinMe moves into cross platform development. He left London with his family four years ago to enjoy a slower pace of life. When not working, Adam helps out with the accounts at his local community-run shop.

Martin Cowley: Software Developer

Martin’s software development experience spans several decades and industries: retail, insurance, health, education and investment banking. He’s now happy to be back working in his home town of Cheltenham, and for the first time in photographic research and development. For both relaxation and excitement, Martin takes to the skies as a paraglider pilot, flying high above the mountains of Europe and the rolling green hills of England and Wales.

Matthew Tapper: Developer

Matt is a developer with nearly two decades experience producing software systems. After spending all of his career prior to joining SpinMe working on Government contracts, Matt is enjoying working for a rapidly moving company like SpinMe. When not coding Matt can normally be found hiking across the hills and mountains of the UK.

Alex Thompson: Junior Developer

Alex is a recent addition to the team. Coming from a warehouse/factory background and finding his way in to a development role, he looks to prove his ability and become the best. In his spare time he likes play games, watch anime, buy useless things and write code.

Chris Allanson: Developer
